Pros

If you get in the right department, it may be okay. Decent pay and benefits. But not worth the pain and misery.

Cons

My current department is the worst department I have ever been in. Constant back-stabbing, jealousy and nepotism. Management is a joke and plays favorites. Lies are being reported and inept people are getting promoted because of family relations. I cannot stress enough, this is just a terrible place. I have never been so unhappy in a job. Unfortunately, there is not much else in this area of Connecticut. I am now taking medication for anxiety as a result of this job and department. I do not know how such a big company gets away with allowing such behavior.

Pros

Good benefits and pay. PTO is decent.

Cons

I have never worked with such scheming and evil people who are desperate to get ahead. The Safety Department has a well-known bad reputation. People are so desperate to impress management, that they suck up in every way possible so that they can get ahead, resulting in massive favourtism. The fact that this is supoported by management is disgraceful. Once you have been deemed a favorite, you can sit back and relax while watching You Tube all day, because you are then a protected employee who is not required to do any work. Management also allows tattling and spying,instead of manning up and telling people to mind their own business. Constant backstabbing and extremely low morale. Meek and ineffective upper management. They all need to be replaced with people who know what they are doing. This behaviour would never be allowed in other big Pharma companies. Stay away unless you want to go back to high school. No amount of money is worth this.

Horrible and fake; Psychopath's dream job

Pros

I can't think of any. The only thing that was a pro for me is that based on their lack of authenticity, I learned how not to treat people. I learned that I don't want to work in a cut-throat environment like this one but instead a genuine one where coworkers are viewed as a team and not competition under the guise of counterfeit fellowship.

Cons

Introverts beware! Corporate nightmare. They act like they want to make the work place culture open and inviting but will use that heir to critically judge and assess you. So if you want to work here, don't be fully authentic and relaxed to them! Say and do what you think THEY want. Get ready to rum the rat race and cut throats to get to where you wanna be.
